Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas

Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas provides free, emergency bedside doula and professional photography services, along with follow-up support and resources, to families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss so no one has to navigate this grief alone.

Join Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas for a quiet, hands-on evening of metalsmithing, creativity, and self-expression. In this beginner-friendly workshop, you will learn introductory metalwork skills and create a copper cuff bracelet in a supportive, reflective environment.&nbsp; No experience is needed, and all materials are included. Making art with our hands can offer a meaningful outlet for reflection, connection, and personal expression.&nbsp; Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas will be present to offer gentle support as you create. This workshop is for adults. Please arrange childcare, as children cannot attend.
